Yeah, I don't know where it came from. I've been doing it as long as I can remember. The sharper the turn, the more I flick. It was definitely less pronounced while autocrossing, but I could still feel it. I'm not trying to fight it necessiarly, though I think it is causing me to turn in too hard.

No. Sac sucks. No autoX. Reno, or Stockton.

I'll take better pictures when it's not bitter cold out there.

No action shots because I was driving. I really didn't take many shots. Anyways.

This was it yo! But if you come from sac be prepared to show off your ride looking like this I have no idea who's sti that is. The way home was fun. But seriously it was only a 2 hourish drive and I learned alot(first timer). It was definetly worth it!

Yeah I didn't really meet anyone new. I talked to both the guy in the black vette and the one in the red mustang as we worked section 6 of the final track. Seeing that sti screaming towards me on the chicane with it's *** up and nose down was pretty sweet. Nick you made me want to walk away from group B.
You > cone

Naw I didn't have to **** that many. I was just anxious to eat that double burger that was in my jacket pocket throughout both exercises I wanted to eat it so bad, but I didn't want to be the *** standing in the middle of the course with food shoved in his face, although it would've been a funny picture.
